Plastic Surgery Uncensored

Is fear of general anesthesia stopping you from having the procedure you've longed for?

Anesthesia shouldn’t be the thing that stops you from getting the surgery you want. In this “save-and-replay” episode, Dr. Rady Rahban and his longtime head Board Certified anesthesiologist, Dr. Houston, answer your most common anesthesia questions—straight from your DMs.

They break down the full hierarchy of anesthesia (local, conscious sedation, “twilight,” general), explain why “twilight is safer” is often a myth, and walk through what actually makes anesthesia safe: the right patient screening, the right monitoring, the right facility, and—most importantly—the right provider.You’ll also get practical, patient-first answers to the questions everyone worries about:
Can you wake up during surgery?
What are the real risks of general anesthesia?
Why do some people get nauseated—and how to prevent it?
Does sleep apnea matter?
What about GLP-1s like Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro?
Should you ask if your anesthesia provider is board-certified—and is that “offensive”?
If anesthesia fear has been your biggest obstacle, this episode is your calm, clear, myth-busting guide to feeling informed, empowered, and safe.

What actually makes plastic surgery successful?

In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban breaks down the right and wrong ways to approach plastic surgery—based on more than 20 years of experience, not trends or social media hype. Dr. Rahban explains why success isn’t just about looking good, but about long-term happiness, safety, function, and realism. He exposes common patient mistakes, including choosing procedures based on trends, wanting someone else’s features, trusting filtered images, selecting surgeons based on popularity or price, rushing surgery, and using cosmetic procedures as emotional therapy.

This episode is a must-listen reality check for anyone considering rhinoplasty, breast surgery, facelifts, tummy tucks, or cosmetic surgery of any kind.

Education, ethics, and patient advocacy—uncensored.

Everyone loves to talk about trends—but in this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban explains why that word is conveluted.

Instead of predictions and hype, Dr. Rahban breaks down what he’s actually seeing at the end of 2025 that’s likely to carry into 2026: what’s improving, what’s exploding, what’s being over-marketed, and what patients should approach with serious caution.  From a more educated (and more fatigued) patient population, to the rise of regenerative medicine, earlier facial surgery in younger patients, skyrocketing revision cases, and massive post-weight-loss body contouring driven by GLP-1 medications—this episode is a reality check for where aesthetics is truly headed.

Dr. Rahban also tackles some of the most talked-about developments shaping 2026:
The promise and confusion surrounding regenerative medicine (exosomes, PRP/PRF, stem cells)
Why facial surgery is shifting younger—and why that can be a good thing when done correctly
The limits and dangers of AI morphing in surgical planning
Why revisions (including BBL reversals) are rapidly increasing
The growing role of men in aesthetic surgery
Smaller breasts, explants, and the changing pendulum of body ideals
New volumization products like processed fat derivatives—and why they may change the future
Motiva implants, Preservé techniques, and what patients aren’t being told
Radiofrequency microneedling warnings, fat loss risks, and FDA alerts
Counterfeit injectables and why “buyer beware” matters more than ever
As always, this isn’t about selling procedures—it’s about education, transparency, and helping patients avoid regret.  If you or someone you love is considering aesthetic treatment in 2026, this episode may save you from making a decision you can’t undo.

Listen. Share. Leave a review.  Because informed patients make better decisions.

She had seven children. She competed in bodybuilding. She ran marathons. She did everything “right.” And she still needed surgery.

In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with Angela — a 42-year-old mother of seven who traveled from Colorado after realizing that even elite discipline and peak fitness couldn’t reverse the physical effects of pregnancy, breastfeeding, and abdominal muscle separation. At just 5’1” and 110 pounds, Angela was already competing in bodybuilding — yet loose skin, diastasis recti, and deflated breast tissue created limitations that no amount of training could fix. This conversation dismantles the myth that “working harder” eliminates the need for surgery — replacing shame with science, clarity, and empowerment. Dr. Rahban breaks down:
Why even elite athletes may require surgical correction after multiple pregnancies
Fat loss vs. loose skin vs. muscle separation — and why they’re not the same
Why mini-tucks often fail athletic patients
When vertical and anchor scars are the right choice
What real recovery actually feels like
How proper surgery restores strength, posture, and performance
The psychology of confidence, intimacy, and body ownership
How to properly vet a surgeon — and why podcasts reveal more truth than marketing
Angela also shares her honest recovery experience, returning to heavy training, and how surgery elevated not just her body — but her confidence and quality of life. This episode is for women who’ve maximized their health and discipline — and are ready to understand when surgery becomes a tool, not a failure.

🎧 A transparent look at what high-performance motherhood truly demands.

For many mothers, plastic surgery isn’t just a medical decision — it’s a moral one.

In this deeply honest and emotionally grounded episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with a mother who never imagined she would consider surgery… let alone go through with it. She wasn’t chasing perfection. She wasn’t influenced by social media. She wasn’t unhappy with her life. She was simply living in a body that no longer functioned the way it once did — after pregnancy, childbirth, and years of self-sacrifice.

This episode explores the quiet guilt many women carry after becoming mothers:
Am I selfish for wanting this? What will my husband think? My children? My community? My church?  Shouldn’t gratitude be enough?

Through the lens of severe diastasis recti and tummy tuck surgery, this conversation gently dismantles the idea that caring for your body somehow diminishes your worth as a mother, wife, or woman of faith. Instead, it reframes plastic surgery as something far more nuanced: a personal decision rooted in function, self-respect, and honesty. You’ll hear about:
Living for years with a body that looks “fine” on paper, but doesn’t feel right
Exhausting non-surgical fixes that don’t work — and the disappointment that follows
The fear of being judged, even when no one is judging you
Why guilt often comes from our own inner voice, not our families
How choosing surgery didn’t take anything away — but gave her life back
This episode isn’t about vanity.
It’s about permission. Permission to want relief.
Permission to want confidence.
Permission to be a devoted mother and a woman who feels whole in her body. If you’ve ever felt torn between gratitude and longing…
If you’ve delayed a decision because guilt felt louder than your needs…
If you’ve wondered whether choosing yourself could actually make you a better, more present mother… This conversation is for you.
